Frequently Asked Questions

Finding the right mix of Retailers and Leisure operators to fill new and existing shopping malls is becoming one of the biggest challenges, and developers are looking for new and innovative concepts to enhance the shopping experience. In 2018, RLI will bring key global industry leaders to London, which has established itself firmly as the most vibrant, innovative and attractive Retail and Leisure location in the world, attracting business from all corners and generating interest like no other market. In returning to the world’s international retail capital, and growing on the phenomenal success of previous events, RLI Connect Global promises to be the must-attend event, connecting leading international players with new emerging brands to feed this and other rapidly-evolving markets – markets that offer great opportunities to achieve levels of recognition and respect that may even exceed those that many brands enjoy in their home markets. One thing that has been constant and will never change is the need for brands to connect, not just rationally and emotionally with their consumers, but with local partners to create and expand opportunities. RLI Connect Global provides an opportunity to explore expansion plans whilst examining potential client markets across the globe.
